Been looking for a Bolero hat for a while that isn't ridiculously expensive but isn't cheap costume trash. Not sure yet if I want a super high-end one as an extension of my personality or if it'll collect dust in my closet. Been told I look like a Spanish conquistador so I'm already taking a gamble on whether or not this will look good on my face. This definitely falls in the 'middle of the road' category; it is well constructed and attractive while not being some bespoke artisanal craft item that I would feel bad not handing down to future generations after making the investment.

Item arrived packed in a wonderfully prepared box that allowed the item to keep its shape easily. I only had to steam out one small crease from the side of the dome.

Do note that measurements are gonna be your friend here. The hat is quite rigid and provides little to no give. I'd size up and pad if you're unsure.

My only issue (though nitpicky, I acknowledge) is that the ribbon is kinda cheap and not attached well. I had already planned on replacing it with something more my style anyway so I won't knock points off for it. If you're not crafty and want an as-is hat, you probably won't be disappointed, but this ribbon won't blow you away with its quality. This is a minor embellishment that likely won't affect 99% of people's opinions of the hat so take my gripe with a grain of salt.

Fly, stylish and comfortable! XL worked out perfectly!!!

It’s what I wanted. A skimmer for summer.

Found this hat online. I have a smaller head so hard to find a fitted hat. Great quality! Love wearing it.

This style I wear in homage to Paladin, for his problem-solving, his elegance, his adaptability. This hat is warm and comfortable. I do urge that you add a chin strap.

Just what the Maharaja ordered! This will compliment my bush jacket and Jodhpur trousers, (also in khaki), very well. Now that I have a Blackthorn swagger stick, I’m extremely happy.

This hat is a super star cool casual hat...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MINE WITH MY OAKLEY SHADES

Great hat and great price. Lightweight but warm. Works great in the rain. Runs a little large- I could probably have done fine with the next size down, but a couple of hat sizers took care of that. Really glad I bought this. The navy blue color is fantastic! It shows up nicely in the sunlight.

The hat came in a regular shipping box (not a stetson box). That being said, the hat is great! I luv the color & stiffness of it as well. I get plenty of compliments when wearing it out & about!!!

This is a hat of very good quality. It is comfortable and stylish. The size runs a little large as I ordered the correct size but it was large enough that I had to put in a foam strip for a good fit.

I love the shape of hat! It’s light, fits me great—I have a big head—and it protects my head, face and neck when I’m my convertible when it’s sunny.Scala hats are nicely-made and well-priced for the long wear I get from them. I have one that is 11 years old and is still serving me well.

Love the 6x felt. So rugged and durable. Easy to shape!

Stunning western hat that was perfect for the Hill Country Gala where I wore it! Excellent fit and perfect style!
